2 Best Sights in Madison, Indiana

The contents of his hospital and office are exactly as Dr. Hutchings left them upon his death in 1903. Open since the late 1960s, the museum's Greek Revival building was Dr. Hutchings's residence and practice. His diplomas are hung on the walls and objects typically in a doctor's bag during the late 19th century, or used in exam rooms, are on display.

Exhibits and artifacts important to Madison's history and Ohio Valley's heritage are on show here. Some exhibits trace southern Indiana's role in steamboating and the Civil War, while others tap into railroad history—Madison was once the terminus of Indiana's first railroad, the Madison and Indianapolis line. Be sure to visit the octagonal restored Madison Railroad Station next door. It was constructed in 1895 and in use as a passenger station until 1935.
